About Benjamin
Benjamin Di Biase, LICSW, helps people who are juggling stress, anxiety, and relationship or family strain. He speaks plainly and focuses on building on a person's strengths. He aims to make the first steps feel doable and respectful of how hard seeking help can be.
Benjamin works from a belief that each person knows important parts of their own story. He listens for what is already working and what is getting in the way. Sessions emphasize practical steps people can try between meetings. He keeps language simple and goals clear so busy parents can follow along.
Over 11 years of practice in Washington inform his approach to trauma, grief, addictions, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder. He draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns and narrative approaches to reframe difficult experiences. For trauma-related work he also uses EMDR techniques when appropriate.
In a typical visit Benjamin helps people name problems, test small changes, and track progress. He supports parents facing parenting strain and people coping with life changes or compassion fatigue. Conversations cover concrete coping tools, relationship patterns, and ways to reduce daily overwhelm.
If you prefer straightforward guidance and a strengths-based focus, his style offers clear steps and collaborative planning. He encourages a pace that fits each person's life and priorities.
How these approaches guide online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It breaks problems into small, manageable steps and gives clear tools people can practice between sessions.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an approach used for processing traumatic memories. It involves guided attention techniques while recalling distressing events to reduce the emotional intensity linked to those memories.
Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. It helps separate the person from the problem and create different, more helpful meanings about difficult events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and what feels workable. Together they decide whether CBT, EMDR, narrative work, or a mix will best fit the situation.
